After returning to the Heavenly Alliance Star, Tantai Yi had no reason to stay and could only invite Ning Cheng one more time before saying goodbye and leaving.
Old Gas, however, found an excuse to stay at the City Master’s Residence, he felt that since Jue Wansheng had just left, it would be safer to follow Ning Cheng’s side. Moreover, after this period of observation, he felt that this senior Ning Cheng really did not care about his Qiankun Cauldron.
Ning Cheng did not care at all whether Old Gas left or not, he was currently in the Heavenly Alliance Star Mountain, where the divine Spiritual Qi was the most dense, in closed-door cultivation.
This place was originally where Yi Sa had been cultivating, and now that Ning Cheng had stayed here for his retreat, he gave it to Ning Cheng without hesitation. Apart from that, there were also 10,000 buckets of Heavenly Alliance Star Dew. There were not many Heavenly Alliance Star Dew, it was only because of the high price that very few of them were sold. Apart from leaving a very small amount behind, Yi Sa simply gave them all to Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng was very fond of the Heavenly Alliance Star Dew, and he did not refuse when Yi Sa gave it to him.
In any case, from the surface it looked like there were basically no major changes in Heavenly Alliance Star City apart from the two topics of someone stepping onto the twelfth floor of the Heavenly Alliance Dao Tower and someone destroying the Heavenly Alliance Star Restaurant.
……
The Heavenly Alliance Star was originally a huge void city, and the Heavenly Alliance Mountain was even the safest and densest place on the Heavenly Alliance Star in terms of divine spiritual energy. Ning Cheng was absolutely safe here in retreat, even if he did not set up formations.
Nonetheless, Ning Cheng had arranged layers of forbidden systems outside the Heavenly Alliance Star Mountain.
The Xuanhuang Pearl was not trivial, and he was trying to perfect it this time. There would not be a problem with Yi Zha, in case there was any great commotion in perfecting the Xuanhuang Pearl world to attract other great powers, it would not be a good thing, so making some means of defense was a must.
In the Xuanhuang Pearl, Ning Cheng had long since allowed the Void Exploding Golden Bee and the Chasing Bull to enter the True Spirit World. Just in case, he had sent the True Spirit World outside the Xuanhuang Pearl.
Chasing Ox was rather lazy, and with so many super cultivation resources, he was only at the ninth level of Starry Sky, and as for shaping his dao perception, he was still too far behind. On the contrary, the Void Exploding Gold Bee King was more diligent and was already at Starry Sky level eight, which was equivalent to the Life and Death realm. The several Exploding Gold Bees that followed the Exploding Gold Bee King were also hovering at level six in strength.
The Void Exploding Golden Wasp was only a powerful threat when it was in a swarm, and since the current one was not in a swarm, Ning Cheng did not expect it to be of much use.
After sending the Bull Chaser and the Exploding Gold Bee away, Ning Cheng began to set up the formation again. Apart from protecting the inheritance sapling that he had obtained under the Yearling Tree with an array, he also protected his Divine Spirit Herb Medicine Garden in layers.
Only after all this was done did Ning Cheng take out the Resting Soil.
The fist-sized resting soil was as heavy as a planet, and even Ning Cheng’s divine sense could not penetrate it. It looked like Di Wu Xuan had used the resting soil to refine the Nine Dao Subduing Towers, and the resting soil would not disappear.
Similarly for the Five Soils of Chaos, Ning Cheng also had the Release Soil and the Geng Soil on him. These two soils were far from being comparable to the Resting Soil in terms of weight or rule aura.
After looking at them for half a day, Ning Cheng did not see a reason. He simply put the Resting Soil on the ground and raised his hand to take out the half Wood Origin Pearl that was sealed by the ban.
Ning Cheng opened the ban and a strong force from the Xuanhuang Pearl directly swept away the half Wood Origin Pearl.
A greenish colour exploded in the air, and immediately afterwards Ning Cheng felt the Xuanhuang Pearl emit a violent vibration. A booming sound that seemed to tear the eardrums came from the Xuanhuang Pearl, as if the Xuanhuang Pearl was going to explode the next moment.
The sea, mountains and rivers formed in the Xuanhuang Pearl also seemed to slowly disappear from Ning Cheng’s sight amidst this vibration. In their place was a chaotic blur, followed by endless Dao rhythm rule powers running amok.
The crazy power of the Heaven and Earth rules continued to derive from it, and Ning Cheng was horrified in his heart. He had perfected his Xuanhuang Pearl several times, each time he obtained the Origin Pearl, he would perfect it once. However, there had never been a time when it had made such a big commotion as it was now, and this was still just the beginning.
Before Ning Cheng could figure out what was going on, a terrifying suction force swept in, and Ning Cheng felt that the Dao rhythm aura and all the power around him was being drained away. Even he himself was going to be bound and unable to move.
Ning Cheng was horrified in his heart, if it was an ordinary perfection of the Xuanhuang Pearl, it would be fine if he was bound. The Xuanhuang Pearl was his anyway, there was no way his life would be in danger. However, now that he had to collect the Five Elements Divine Water, once the resting soil and the world of the Xuanhuang Pearl fused together and he could not move, the Five Elements Divine Water would simply disappear into the Chaos World.
Ning Cheng had just thought of this when he saw the resting soil on the ground suddenly float up and then explode in the air. The Daoist Rule aura in the Xuanhuang Pearl and the Daoist Rule aura emanating from the Resting Loam fused together as if it was a heavenly sound. A dozen drops of colourful crystal dew floated down from the air, beautiful to the extreme.
This was definitely the Five Elements Divine Water, which I had not expected to be so little. Seeing that the Xuanhuang pearl was becoming more and more powerful in its Dao rhyme curl around his body, Ning Cheng did not care about the damage to his body and raised his hand to use a rule-breaking divine ability.
The effect of the Rule-Breaking divine Aura was extremely weak at this point, allowing Ning Cheng to move. Ning Cheng sacrificed the Infinite Gourd and raised his hand to collect a dozen drops of Five Elements Divine Water that had not yet fallen to the ground and sent them into it.
After collecting the Five Elements Divine Water, Ning Cheng simply did not have time to collect the Limitless Gourd again before an even more terrifying rule power rolled over. This time, not only did the rule power begin to frantically suck the Dao Rhythm aura around Ning Cheng, but even Ning Cheng’s essence blood was quickly swept away partially.
With a click, even though Ning Cheng’s refined body was strong, it could not support such a horrendous pressure.
……
Yi Sa had been in a really comfortable mood recently, not only because his daoist partner Shu Oat had been saved, but also because Shu Oat’s body of extinct veins had disappeared due to the repair of the Cosmic True Marrow. Shu Nua’s cultivation level was indeed dropping wildly now, and Yi Sha did not care. As long as he was still in the Heavenly Alliance Star, even if Shu Nuan had no cultivation at all now, with Shu Nuan’s enlightenment, he would be sure to help Shu Nuan to once again attain the mixed origin.
There was another reason, and that was that he had met a strong person like Ning Cheng. Since sitting in the Heavenly Alliance Star, he had seen too many strong people. This was the first time he had met a strong person like Ning Cheng. Moreover, Ning Cheng was not a thick-skinned person, so he was exactly the kind of friend he wanted to make.
“Brother Za, could that Ning Cheng have concealed his cultivation? How else could he be so powerful?” At this moment, the only people sitting in the Heavenly Alliance Star City’s City Lord’s residence were Yi Za, Shu Oat and Li Mad River, and it was Shu Oat, whose Qi and blood were growing stronger, who asked the question.
With this state of Shu Nuan, in another half a month’s time, he could start to recover his cultivation in seclusion.
When Yi Za heard Shu Nuan’s words, he smiled slightly, “I’m sure he’s not hiding his cultivation, and he hasn’t crossed the First Decline of the Heavenly Man yet. Otherwise, he would be a little stronger, and if I’m not wrong, the technique he cultivates is one of the eight great techniques that the Ping Ding Emperor has spoken of.”
Li Madhe nodded, he agreed with Yi Sa’s words, otherwise, Ning Cheng would not have been able to easily put away a treasure like the Nine Dao Subduing Tower.
Right at that moment, a dazzling yellow aura shot up into the sky, the kind of aura that madly swept through the entire void of divine spiritual energy and dao rhythms was instantly caught by Yi Sa’s trio.
Yi Sa’s face changed and he immediately rushed out of the City Lord’s residence.
“It’s the place where Brother Ning is in retreat.” Li Madhe’s face also changed greatly, what he was about to say before was that Ning Cheng might have top-notch treasures, and this time this kind of vision appeared at the place where Ning Cheng was in seclusion.
There was no need for RI Wild River to say anything, several people could see it clearly.
In the depths of the Heavenly Alliance Star Mountain, a terrifying yellow aura shot straight up into the sky. Endless heaven and earth rules and dao rhythms and divine aura all frantically surged over from the endless void and then swept into that yellow aura as if it was a whirlpool.
“Not good.” Yi Sa’s face suddenly turned pale.
Such a terrifying might could conceivably attract the strongest people in the surrounding void to come over. Even if he, Yi Sa, was strong, he would not be able to help Ning Cheng block the impact of so many powerful people.
Ri Mad River’s face also changed, what Yi Sa had thought of, he had obviously thought of as well.
Just as Yi Sa had predicted, countless people in the Heavenly Alliance Star City swarmed towards the Heavenly Alliance Star Mountain. As for the endless void outside the Heavenly Alliance Star, there were likewise numerous powerful people who sensed the scene and rushed over.
“Everyone stop, this is the Heavenly Alliance Star Mountain, where I am in retreat and cultivation.” Yi Sa was the first to stop outside the Heavenly Alliance Star Mountain’s mountain protection formation.
Yi Sa’s strength at the perfection of the Harmonious Dao, coupled with Shu Oat’s return, made his Dao heart even more rounded, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was half a step into the Realm of Creation. The power of the Dao rhyme rules around him rolled out, immediately suppressing the many powerful people.
“City Master Yi, we just want to go over and see what is going on with that yellow aura, besides, City Master Yi is not in seclusion right now.” A late-stage Hybrid Yuan powerhouse called out from the crowd.
“Right, we just want to go and see what that yellow mane is all about.” More people in the crowd echoed up.
This was still the case when Ning Cheng had already perfected the Xuanhuang Pearl and there was no half of the Xuanhuang Origin aura in the yellow aura. Otherwise, even with Yi Sa in the way, the crowd would not have been able to resist their inner greed and rush into the Heavenly Alliance Star Mountain.
Yi Sa frowned a little and was about to speak. Suddenly, a heated voice could be heard saying, “The Heavenly Alliance Star Mountain is a private retreat, who told you to go in whenever you want? If City Master Yi is not in retreat, can’t others be in retreat here?”
The one who spoke was none other than Old Gas, he wanted to obtain Ning Cheng’s asylum, and at this time, he naturally would not lag behind. He was sure that the yellow awning was a commotion made by Ning Cheng in seclusion, with Ning Cheng’s strength, who else could he be afraid of? Since Ning Cheng was not afraid of anyone, then he naturally had to come out and show his loyalty.
If it was Yi Sa who had said this, perhaps no one would have refuted it. It was just that Old Gas’s apparent strength was simply too much, and he had just attained mixed origin and seemed to have not yet solidified.
Almost as soon as Old Gas finished saying this, a man who was also at the early stage of mixed yuan snorted coldly, “Would a retreat cause such a big commotion? This must be a foreign treasure coming out.”
“Snort,” two dark mangles that cut through the void were sacrificed by the old gas and rolled directly towards this early Mixed Yuan man. The man at the early stage of the mixed element was so shocked that he could not sacrifice his magic treasures in time, and his whole body was transformed into a twisting ribbon, trying to get out of the space created by these two dark mangles.
“Too late.” The old gas’s voice reached his while ears, and immediately afterwards, this Early Mixed Yuan Saint Emperor saw the shadow of a huge tripod landing on top of his head.
